Lorin Library PGD

Dentists who are experienced with cosmetic treatment know that the subtleties of smile design can make the difference between success and failure.  The dentist must decide a host of factors including midline, cant, incisal edge position and shape, golden proportion, and color.  All these factors are defined by the rules of esthetics, except incisal edge shape.  Shape is largely up to personal preference.  Until today dentists and labs have had to guess at what shape the patient may prefer. The Lorin Library was created so the lab, doctor and patient can define the preferred esthetic smile design prior to beginning treatment.

HISTORY

Raster Builders was founded in 1991 to develop imaging products in parallel with Canon USA's emerging still video imaging technology.  In addition to products bundled with the Canon equipment, Raster Builders developed several specialized imaging applications:

  • An Electronic Briefing System for Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Fort Bragg, NC.

  • A Planogram Digitizing System for retail merchandising companies including Target, Wal-Mart and Rite Aid.

  • A Dental Imaging System originally released under the trade name InfoSource® to Source One Dental, BC, Canada.

InfoSource was licensed to SciCan Inc. in 1995 and released under the trade name ImageFX®. ImageFX continued to grow in industry support and capability until 2006.

The product was re-released in 2006 under the name PatientGallery® as a collaborative effort between Raster Builders and CompuDent Systems Inc. which provided technical support for ImageFX.

Major changes to the product:

  • PatientGallery received FDA approval as a Class II PACS device. The 510(K) application was reviewed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc (UL).

  • Patent rights were negotiated to  incorporate x-ray mounts or templates.

  • The Lorin Library and Smile Style Guide was included with the Designer Module.

  •  Many new x-ray and intra-oral camera devices were added.

  • A formal support structure was put in place to provide 800 telephone service,  software upgrades and web-based training.

  • A simple upgrade path was created for existing ImageFX installations.

PatientGallery is still backward compatible with databases generated by InfoSource and ImageFX.

 

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Digital photography training is available as part of the basic PatientGallery support program, regardless of the equipment you have and way you incorporate photography into your practice. PatientGallery provides simple tools for creating professional quality portraits and diagnostic images.   

   

 

 TRAINING, SUPPORT AND UPGRADES
